The Premier League has announced strict sanctions against Chelsea FC following financial violations linked to illegal payments to player agents during the ownership period of former club owner Roman Abramovich.
According to the official statement, Chelsea will be required to pay a £10.75 million fine, while the club’s academy has been handed a nine-month transfer ban.
In addition, the club’s first team has been banned from making new signings for one year, although the sanction could be suspended if the club complies with financial regulations and avoids further breaches.
The decision reflects the Premier League’s commitment to enforcing financial transparency and maintaining strict oversight of club dealings with player agents.
